Telepathy for Feisty

Abstract the protocols from the UI. "Pervasive chat throughout the desktop"

Current Status

• Edgy ships an initial set of telepathy packages (the entire suite + cohoba).

What software will use Telepathy

• gossip, a Gnome/Gtk IM client
• kopete, a Kde/Qt IM client

• Landell is a Instant Messenger for the GNOME Desktop. It is written using C# and Telepathy (though the use of Tapioca#, which is a high-level convenience library based on Telepathy# (http://tapioca-voip.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Landell)

Things being worked on / problems

• galago vs mission control (what to be done about email?)

  • What does this part mean? I don't think Galago and MC are in conflict. What does email have to do with Telepathy? -- DafyddHarries

• telepathy-sharp

Things feasible for Feisty release

• gabble (working on feature parity)
• wilde (getting there slowly)
• butterfly (getting there slowly)
• Gossip-telepathy (hopefully) - "replacing" regular gossip
• Tapioca (hopefully)

Things yet to come

• at some stage: libtelepathy-gtk, libtelepathy-qt (reusable widgets)

Improvements

• Packages for tapioca should be done for feisty (http://tapioca-voip.sourceforge.net/)
